The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Word (and other programs) can contain formatting information in addition
to the actual text: bold, font change, font size change, etc.
I've found it easiest to copy the text from Word into Notepad or
UltraEdit (I use this), then copy that resulting text into 5250. UE and
Notepad only recognize the textual data, and ignore formatting
characteristics.

Loyd

Subject: Non displayable characters in a PF
Hi,
Hope this isn't too vague a question :
Users are copying and pasting into a green screen application from MS
Word and the results are saved in a PF. The user entry program does not
display these characters and so the user doesn't realise. DSPPFM shows
the characters in inverse video. It's not possible to modify afterwards
with DFU.
What is missing to prevent the pasting of these unwanted characters?
Why doesn't the data entry screen show them but DSPPFM does?
Thanks.
